Facebook shares are up more than 30$ in premarket, or more than 8%, a substantial soar, after reported earnings on the last day of July. Not only did the company beat it’s earnings forecast, but has also made upward corrections to their predictions for the future period.
Results against expectations:
The company has also reported much lower costs than previously expected and an overall clean financial situation. The management of costs was done in order for the company to have large pool of funds prepared for even further AI projects, as Mark Zuckerberg announces that more is to come from Facebook:
“At the end of the day, we are in the fortunate position where the strong results that we’re seeing in our core products and business give us the opportunity to make deep investments for the future, and I plan to fully seize that opportunity to build some amazing things that will pay off for our community and our investors for decades to come.“
In the reported quarter, the company had 3.27 billion daily active people, almost half the global population.
